Description:

This 5 pitch route has been called one of the best 5.7s in the country. The route starts right off the road about 100 yards from the entrance shack to the park. Pitch 1: 60 ft Follow the chalk from the top of some flakes to a set of bolts as anchors. Pitch 2-95 feet Once again follow the chalk up a finger/hand crack to a good ledge and set up a belay. Pitch 3-80 feet +/- This is the crux pitch. Belay from top of downsloping ramp. Pitches 4 & 5- Follow large crack system that starts 10 feet down the ramp to the summit. This is a very popular route so get up early. You can easily combine the 1-2nd pitch and 3-4th. Watch out for rope drag if you join the 3rd and 4th.[flamer edit; This route can easily be done in 2 pitchs. A 60M rope is mandatory! Belay at the top of the 3rd pitch and then at the summit. No Simul is needed and it is not a rope stretcher.] This route is harder than 5.7, so if you don't feel comfortable on 5.7 trad, don't do this one, it is more 5.8ish.
